✍If people cook and eat in the same room, it’s usually called a kitchen or kitchen-diner.
✍Kitchen – if the focus is mainly on cooking, even if there's a small table for eating.
✍Kitchen-diner – a combined space for both cooking and eating, common in modern homes or apartments.
✍Dining room – not the right term here, because a dining room doesn't have cooking equipment.
